Korea in October for his first performances in the country in eight years, headlining two large-scale stadium concerts expected to draw a combined audience of about 100,000 fans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Credit-card issuer Hyundai Card said May 11 that the Canadian pop star will perform on Oct. 7 and Oct. 8 at Goyang Stadium as part of its \u201cHyundai Card Super Concert 28\u201d series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The shows mark The Weeknd\u2019s second visit to South Korea, following his 2018 performance under Hyundai Card\u2019s Culture Project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The upcoming concerts are expected to be among the country\u2019s largest live music events in recent years, following stadium shows by Coldplay in 2017 and Bruno Mars in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Born in Canada, The Weeknd helped bring alternative R&amp;B into the mainstream by blending rhythm and blues with hip-hop and electronic influences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2023, he became the first artist on Spotify to surpass 100 million monthly listeners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His breakout hit Blinding Lights has surpassed 5 billion streams on Spotify and was recognized by Guinness World Records.<br>He has also won multiple Grammy Awards, including best urban contemporary album for Beauty Behind the Madness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Weeknd will return to South
